Introduce your students to the Pythagorean Theorem with this engaging and flexible lesson! Perfect for whole-class instruction or independent practice, this activity helps students build a strong conceptual understanding of right triangles. Through hands-on exploration, students will discover that the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. By the end of the lesson, learners will be able to confidently determine missing side lengths using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students match problems and answers (or QR Codes) by correctly solving percent questions.
Using angle relationships (comp/sup/vertical) with solving equations.
"Use facts about complementary, supplementary, vertical and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve equations for and unknown angle in a figure."
Problem of the day or Warm up or used for an exit ticket.
Students must
-Find Unit Rate
-Draw a picture representation
-Make a table
-Tie a Division problem to the picture and solve!
Shows several methods/ways of attaining the same answer and representing it in many ways. Many students know the answer immediately, but when they have to represent with a picture or a division problem they get stuck. Can be individual or whole group instructed.

6 PODS for kids with ample space to work out. Spilt into steps for easy instruction for large group, small group or intervention.
All are fairly simple problems that students can solve WITHOUT calculators. The idea is to get the process across with easy problems so that students can replicate the process with tougher problems.
#1 Unit Rate with Fractions - whole number & fraction
#2 Unit Rate with Fractions - two fractions
#3 Unit Rate with Fractions - mixed numbers
#4 Unit Price
#5 Better
A student follow along to the AIR Math Practice test. Alerts students to items to be aware of and how to use certain tools on the test. Also requires students to solve the 7 practice questions.

This page includes 2 examples and an exit ticket. I show the students both ways to find a final price after s discount.
Way 1- Find the discount and then subtract from the original price.
Way 2- Find the percentage of the original price you are paying (if 10% off you are paying 90%) and then use this to find the final price with the discount.
In the examples they may use either method to solve.
In the exit ticket they must show both methods and give me and argument as to which one is
